Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

Mo Mo seemed to have been reminded by Misaka Mikoto as well. He looked down at Misaka Mikoto and scrutinized her from head to toe. This aggravated Misaka Mikoto's symptoms, which were already on the verge of exploding, and she felt like she was about to explode.

"What...what are you looking at! I've already said, what happened before...was...it was Misaki Shokuhou's prank, it wasn't like I had to...wear it..."

Misaka Mikoto stammered, turning her head away to look at the water, not daring to look at Mo Mo. But even so, the thought of Mo Mo looking at her and fantasizing about her in a wedding dress made her feel like she was going to break down.

"Don't be shy, Mikoto. You looked so cute in your wedding dress... no, I should say beautiful. I almost suffocated when I saw you."

However, compared to Misaka Mikoto's shyness, Mo Mo would never let Misaka Mikoto escape. It was something that neither of them could forget, so how could they pretend it hadn't happened?

Momo even decided to deepen the memories of the two people and continuously strengthen them.

"Beautiful...I am beautiful..."

Upon hearing those two words from Mo Mo's mouth, her heart finally exploded, transforming into flames that engulfed her entire body, scorching all her organs until only a dazed, brain-damaged, red body remained.

If I had to describe it, Misaka Mikoto is probably not just overloaded anymore; she's practically totaled because of the overload.

The crippled Misaka Mikoto seemed to have lost her mind, even forgetting her shyness. She turned her head and stared blankly at Mo Mo, while Mo Mo responded with sincere eyes and an unwavering gaze.

He was serious...

Misaka Mikoto, who had been gazing at Mo Mo for a long time, could only think of one sentence.

Seriously...

"Really...?"

"Of course, I will never forget the scene from that day. If I had the chance to see it again in the future, I would probably be so happy that I would die!"

Misaka Mikoto's body jerked violently, she shrank back, pressed her chin hard against her chest, pursed her lips, and softly murmured, "Yes, one day..."

Then she heard Momo say another thing.

"I wonder who will be standing in front of me in a wedding dress?"

Click...

Misaka Mikoto felt something shatter. She looked up abruptly, but this time she glared fiercely at Mo Mo, as if Mo Mo had said something heinous.

"Who do you want to appear in front of you in a wedding dress, Best, or is there someone else besides Best, or should I ask how many people there are?"

Mo Mo seemed completely oblivious to Misaka Mikoto's odd mood, saying, "Best... the petite and adorable Best is indeed quite nice, but I wonder if she'll ever grow up. Putting someone like Best in a wedding dress feels like a crime..."

"Crime... Ah... Heh..."

Misaka Mikoto's blush turned into anger, and wisps of white light flashed on her forehead as she said, "So, you've been harboring criminal thoughts all along? You... you're a lecherous womanizer!"

"Look at me... Waaaaaah!"

Just as Misaka Mikoto, filled with shame and anger, was about to give Mo Mo a righteous healing, Mo Mo's left hand, which was holding Misaka Mikoto's thigh, suddenly loosened, and Misaka Mikoto began to fall towards the water.

The sudden fall immediately triggered Misaka Mikoto's instinctive physical reaction. The sparks on her forehead instantly dissipated, and her hands instinctively grabbed wildly before finally hugging Mo Mo's chest.

However, without the support of Momo's hand, her lower body still fell towards the water's surface. In her shock, Misaka Mikoto could only instinctively kick her legs wildly, trying to step on something.

Finally, Misaka Mikoto's actions seemed to work; her toes touched something soft, allowing her to finally stand on the water... Misaka Mikoto immediately realized that it was impossible for her to step on something on the water.

What exactly did she step on?

Misaka Mikoto quietly opened her eyes and looked down. She realized she was standing on Mo Mo's feet. Mo Mo's ability already allowed the two of them to float on the water, so this was just a change in their position and posture, and there shouldn't be any problems...

no problem?

How could there be no problem!

Misaka Mikoto suddenly heard a heartbeat.

However, this was not her heartbeat, but Mo Mo's heartbeat, a strong and powerful heartbeat that Misaka Mikoto was very familiar with.

It seems like only yesterday that she was listening to that familiar heartbeat with the help of the Soul Chaser in the Underworld. Although the heartbeat that had been restored was not as strong and powerful as it is now, it gave Misaka Mikoto a joy that felt like she had been reborn.

That was Mo Mo's heartbeat, the heartbeat of the boy in front of her, the heartbeat of the boy she was holding.

It was only at this moment that Misaka Mikoto realized that although she and Momo had only changed their positions and there was no change in gravity, she was now the one holding Momo instead of Momo holding her.

One was passive, the other active; being passive had already humiliated her to the extreme, but now she was active...

"What are you doing?! I...I...I..."

Misaka Mikoto stammered, instinctively wanting to release Momo, but her feet were planted on Momo's feet, which didn't give her any sense of security. After all, there was water on all sides, and the fact that a steel bridge needed to be built over the river meant that the width of the river was beyond Misaka Mikoto's capabilities.

The only thing that made Misaka Mikoto feel at ease was the chest of Mo Mo that she was holding right now, and the sound of Mo Mo's heartbeat.

Why are you asking me?

Mo Mo answered Misaka Mikoto's question. Misaka Mikoto nodded hurriedly, not daring to let go of Mo Mo's arms, and even less daring to look at Mo Mo. All she could do was bury her face in Mo Mo's chest and listen to his heartbeat.

"Because you're too heavy, it's tiring to carry you."

Misaka Mikoto's scalp tightened again.

"Besides, there's no difference between now and before, is there? What difference does it make whether I'm holding you or you're holding me?"

"We're just hugging each other anyway!"

"How could there be no difference? You...you...where have I gained weight? I'm very careful about my weight. Recently, because I've been saving money to help you pay your medical bills, I've actually lost weight!"

Because of Mo Mo's repeated provocations, Misaka Mikoto's rationality began to crumble. Overwhelmed with shame and anger, she could no longer bear it and began to complain to Mo Mo, complaining loudly.

"But you...it's one thing that you ran away today, but just now...why..."

Seemingly overwhelmed with emotion, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but recall what had just happened. However, after saying a few words, she realized that she shouldn't tell Mo Mo about it. Helpless, she pursed her lips and wanted to lower her head.

But this time, Mo Mo stopped Misaka Mikoto. He extended his index finger and gently brushed it across the corner of Misaka Mikoto's eye.

Misaka Mikoto was taken aback. Was she crying again?

Misaka Mikoto didn't want Mo Mo to see her like this. She wanted to wipe her eyes, but she was holding Mo Mo tightly and didn't dare to let go with either hand. Helpless, she could only turn her face away and look at the rushing river at their feet.

"Feel sorry."

Mo Mo apologized softly. Misaka Mikoto was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "This has nothing to do with you. After all, it's what I should do."

“If you still think all of this is as it should be, then I won’t apologize, Misaka.”

Misaka Mikoto was truly confused this time. What did Mo Mo mean by those words?

Suddenly, Mo Mo's arms returned to Misaka Mikoto's body, one arm encircling Misaka Mikoto's waist, while the other hand pierced Misaka Mikoto's hair, tightly embracing Misaka Mikoto's entire body.

The faint fragrance of her hair warmed Mo Mo's nose, bringing a gentle smile to her face.

Mo Mo's embrace gave Misaka Mikoto a sense of security, as if even if she loosened her grip on Mo Mo, she would not encounter any danger.

However, she still didn't let go; her body still craved Mo Mo's warmth.

"Why……"

Misaka Mikoto asked in a murmur, and Momo answered softly.

“Because I don’t want us to continue this relationship of rescuer and rescued. Otherwise, I will always be your benefactor and you will always be repaying me, and this relationship will suffocate me.”

Misaka Mikoto's body trembled, as if she understood something. The things that had been piling up in her mind suddenly became clear, and she knew what Mo Mo was thinking.

"So, can you let me end that relationship? After all, you've done enough for me, and I'm standing here perfectly fine now. You don't owe me anything."

“In that case, I can understand that what you did for me was not to repay a debt of gratitude, just as when I saved you, it was definitely not to repay a debt of gratitude.”

Do you understand?

As Mo Mo's words echoed in Misaka Mikoto's mind, her heartbeat gradually calmed down, and she felt a sense of warmth throughout her body.

She got it.

So what Mo Mo wanted to do... the reason is so simple.

Author's Note:

First update

077 Who is this?

Mo Mo's words calmed Misaka Mikoto down, and she began to calmly reflect on her actions over the past few days.

Although Misaka Mikoto doesn't regret anything she did before, upon closer reflection, she seems to have become somewhat obsessive.

Or to be more precise, when a responsibility of life and death suddenly fell on Misaka Mikoto's shoulders, although she did not back down and tried her best to show her strength and courage, her heart was actually a little overwhelmed.

Although she eventually succeeded, the immense pressure made her become paranoid, transforming her from someone who wanted to repay a debt of gratitude into someone who felt she absolutely had to do so.

If she continues in this state, even if her will remains unchanged, Misaka Mikoto's body will not be able to withstand it, and the surrounding environment will be distorted or even destroyed due to this excessive obsession.

This was originally a matter of justice that ran through Misaka Mikoto's heart, but when everything became distorted, could Misaka Mikoto still uphold the original justice in her heart at that time?

Misaka Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief; this was probably what Mo Mo wanted to tell her.

"I understand, I..."

Misaka Mikoto instinctively wanted to apologize, but Mo Mo stopped her, saying, "I'm the one who should apologize. Isn't it my fault that you're so upset?"

"Ah, no..."

“You’ve tried to save me and help me from the very beginning. Even when you made mistakes, it was all because of me. So I have to stop this relationship, even if it makes you hate me.”

Misaka Mikoto quietly raised her head and looked at Mo Mo, who met her gaze and said, "So, can you forgive me, Mikoto? Forgive me for making you cry just now?"

The distance between their faces seemed to be getting closer. Misaka Mikoto felt Mo Mo's breath begin to sweep across her cheek. Her calm heart began to race again. Without even thinking, she knew that her face must have changed again.

So, Misaka Mikoto buried her face in Mo Mo's chest again, and said in a muffled voice, "That's fouling..."

"Given the current situation... how can I not forgive you? If I don't forgive you, what will you do?"

Mo Mo hesitated for a second, then said, "Hmm, immerse your body from the neck down in the water until you agree?"

"If you dare to do that, even if we both fall into the water, I'll make you taste the electric current!"

After saying that, Misaka Mikoto chuckled to herself. So that was the reason for the problem that had almost completely drained her. Mo Mo... is really awkward.

However, wasn't she also very awkward? Otherwise, how could she have driven herself into a dead end?

If Momo hadn't pointed it out, Misaka Mikoto might have stayed behind Momo with this grateful attitude for a long time. In that case, they probably wouldn't have been able to take it any further.

Going further... no, no, no, how could I think of such a thing...

Ahhh, it's all your fault...

However, Misaka Mikoto only complained to herself; she dared not let Mo Mo hear these words, otherwise… to outsiders, it would seem utterly arrogant…
